Facts proved that Qu Jingyun was not wrong. Qi Mingyuan was not only rich, but also a responsible man.

After that night, Qu Jingyun was no longer just Qi Shengzhi's nanny in the Qi family. In addition to giving her huge amounts of money beyond her imagination, Qi Mingyuan also gave her a lot of expensive jewelry, which made Qu Jingyun secretly ecstatic.

Even Du Anping, who was originally worried about her, smiled brightly when he received the money that Qu Jingyun "rewarded" him with as a "filial piety".

Qu Jingyun originally thought that it was her greatest fortune that a man of Qi Mingyuan's status could keep her as his lover, but she didn't expect that not long after, Qi Mingyuan actually proposed to her!

For Qu Jingyun, this was like a huge pie falling from the sky. She was so happy that she cried and agreed to Qi Mingyuan's proposal.

Of course she had to hide this news from Du Anping. If Du Anping knew about it, he would definitely make a fuss and ruin her great marriage!

She continued to give money to Du Anping on time every month, but gradually Du Anping's appetite grew bigger and bigger, and he asked for more and more money each time, so much that Qu Jingyun began to feel distressed - after all, she had already obtained her marriage certificate with Qi Mingyuan at that time, and the money given to Du Anping was also her money, how could she not feel distressed?

Finally, after a fierce verbal argument between the two, Qu Jingyun thought that she had the ability to get rid of Du Anping, so she simply told him that she had married Qi Mingyuan, and promised to give Du Anping a sum of money so that he would not harass her again.

Du Anping, who was shocked and angry, calmed down after his rage. After weighing the pros and cons, he accepted the money given by Qu Jingyun, but he did not agree to cut off contact with her from then on. He only agreed to reduce the number of meetings from once a month to once every three months.

Although Qu Jingyun was angry, he could do nothing about it. Once a blood-sucking leech like Du Anping got on you, it would be very difficult to get rid of it.

Fortunately, money is no longer the biggest problem for her now. As long as she can temporarily appease Du Anping and reduce the possibility of being discovered by Qi Mingyuan, the money will be spent. She can find an opportunity to get rid of him completely in the future.

Qu Jingyun thought it was simple at the time, but she didn't expect that the two of them would be entangled for more than ten or twenty years. Of course, during this period, she also asked Du Anping to do some shady things on her behalf, so that the entanglement between the two became deeper and deeper, and she could no longer get rid of it just because she wanted to.

But today was less than a month since she last asked Du Anping to get the photos. How could he come to her at this time, and choose a day that would easily attract attention?

Seeing that all the guests at the door had been welcomed into Xiefang Garden, Qu Jingyun could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She glanced at the empty electric pole opposite and couldn't help feeling a lingering fear. She turned around and wanted to quickly get away from this unlucky place.

Who knew that as soon as she turned around, a voice as familiar as a nightmare came to her ears from the corner of the outer wall of Xiefang Garden:

"Sister Yun, didn't you see me just now? Why don't you invite me in on such a nice day?"

Qu Jingyun was shocked. Her first reaction was to see if there was anyone around. Then she turned around and looked in the direction of the sound. Sure enough, she saw the lingering Du Anping leaning against the wall and hiding behind a row of bamboos, smoking and raising his eyebrows at her leisurely.

He actually came?!

After confirming that all the guests had entered, Qu Jingyun quickly walked behind the row of bamboos and said angrily in a low voice:

"I already gave you the money from last time. It's only been a month, why are you looking for me again?!"

Du Anping put on a sad expression, but there was a naked sneer in his eyes, and he responded in a slick tone:

"Sister Yun—look at what you said. It sounds so sad. It seems that I've been the only one missing you for such a long time. You don't miss me at all?"

Qu Jingyun took a deep breath and suppressed the rage surging within her. She knew full well that Du Anping wasn't thinking about her, but her money. But this man was becoming increasingly out of control. How dare he even come to her house and cause trouble on a day like today?!

The long-accumulated emotions of dissatisfaction, frustration, disgust, etc. intertwined in Qu Jingyun's heart. The desire to completely get rid of Du Anping's harassment was stronger than ever. A vicious idea suddenly appeared in her mind - if only Du Anping died!

Seeing Qu Jingyun with a stern face and no words, Du Anping walked forward with a lewd smile, grabbed her hand, rubbed it in his hand and said with a smile:

"That's right, you have someone to accompany you to sleep every night, unlike me who has to sleep alone!"

Qu Jingyun was frightened by his bold action and trembled all over. She quickly pulled her hand out of his grasp and looked around before asking angrily:

"Just say what you want to say. Why are you looking for me?!"

Du Anping put his hand to his nose and smelled it with regret. Sure enough, there was an alluring feminine scent, much more fragrant than those women in Honghua Back Alley.

Qu Jingyun couldn't help but frown when she saw his wretched appearance, and made a gesture to leave.

Du Anping then said slowly:

"You're getting more and more impatient! It seems the lesson I taught you last time wasn't deep enough. You've completely forgotten it in less than a month."

His tone was calm and his words were spoken slowly, but Qu Jingyun's heart trembled and she stopped walking. That day, Du Anping hugged her and bit her like crazy. After returning home, she was frightened and hid for many days until the marks on her body faded.

Du Anping saw that she didn't dare to move, and her face turned blue and red, knowing that she was afraid, he said with satisfaction:

"People's memories get worse as they get older, so I'm here to remind you. Last time you only paid for the photos, and you forgot to give me three months' worth of 'filial piety'. Don't worry, I'm here to collect the money, and I'll leave after I take it."

Qu Jingyun's eyes widened. She had given Du Anping a full two hundred yuan for those photos, and yet he wasn't satisfied. Less than a month later, he came back to her with another excuse to ask for money?!

You know, two hundred yuan is enough for a family of three to live for a year!

"Du Anping! Don't go too far! Do you think I'm a money printer?! I just gave you two hundred yuan, and less than a month later you're asking for more. Are you trying to force me to death? I don't have any money to give you, so why not just kill me?"

Seeing Qu Jingyun acting crazy and crying poor in front of him, Du Anping laughed out loud. He never took Qu Jingyun's threats seriously.

"Why would I kill you? Killing someone means going to jail. If you don't have money, I'll ask someone rich for it!"

After he said that, he pushed Qu Jingyun away and walked towards the gate of Xiefang Garden.
